How do i manage to convince myself that things will start getting better in my life? There is nothing in my past to suggest any improvements will last. Every time I let a little bit of hope into my life, it gets dashed accross the rocks, and I wonder what bit of insanity that optimism was. I didn't get the job I applied for, I didn't get into college and eventually the people around me will realize just how worthless I am. Why do I even bother? I just wan't to lay down and never ever risk getting up again.
